During his recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Tom said that “the hardest thing is to guest on a show. It’s really hard. It’s like when I did Friends. They were up to speed.”
He added that he “wasn’t amazing at what they call the table read. I was scared to death.”
“I had done Taxi a long time before, but I hadn’t done a sitcom so I was really nervous,” Tom added, before saying that “Courteney [Cox] helped a lot.”
“That group is just an incredible group of friends. They obviously became friends in life as well as on the show and it shows, and it was a wonderful place to work. We ended up doing about nine of them. I was only supposed to do three!”
Following the big reunion special on HBO Max, director Ben Winston opened up about why certain stars weren’t part of it.
